I think as a child I got viruses from one of the ads, you know, the ones would put on the side of the site. We had to call in a guy, to clean parents' computer. I felt really guilty and never touched those ads again.

So Google's and Meta's main business are ads. And recently I felt confused. Do people click on ads? Don't these ads feel phishy to them?

I have ads unblocked on a site that I like to support, and that serves relevant ads that are generally clean.
Generally, they're ads for equipment from manufacturers I'm actually interested in, so I will occasionally click on them.
